To gather data on a 1200-acre pine forest in Louisiana, the U.S. Forest Service laid a grid of 1410 equally spaced circular plots over a map of the forest. A ground survey visited a sample of 10% of the plots. 13 a. Explain how you would use a random number generator to choose an SRS of 141 plots. Your description should be clear enough for a classmate to carry out your plan. b. Use your method from part (a) to choose the first 3 plots.

To make a random selection using a random number generator, we could make use of a computer programming to execute the task by following the steps below ;

  • Total number of plots = 1410

  • 10% of total = 0.1 × 1410 = 141 plots

A.) Using python 3 to generate a random sample of 141 plots :

import random

#import the random module

random_sample = random.sample(range(1410), 141)

#using the sample method, randomly select a sample of 141 plots from the total number of plots, 1410

print(random_sample)

#display the randiy selected plots which is 10% of the total

B.) Choosing the first three plots using the method described in (A)

first_3 = random_sample[:3]

#from the 141 random samples, use list slicing to select the first three plots from the sample

print('\n The first 3 plots are : ' , first_3)

#display the first three sample plots selected.
